DEVICE FOR USE IN MAKING DRAPERIES, &c.

Application led June 11, 1907, Serial No. 378,327.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM K. MALh LoNEE, FRANK DANNENBERG, and Pn'rnr. P. BREHM, citizens of the United States, rcsiding at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful lmprovenients in Devices for Use `in Making Draperies and the Like and we do hereby declare the following to be vention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to display devices, and has for an object to provide a device of the class embodying improved `means to facilitate the adjustment of a bar to serve as a model for making, fitting, hanging, etc. of portires and other draperies.

, A further object of the invention is to provide in a display rack a framing and with a frame and with means for moving opposite ends ofthe bar in synchronism.

A further object of the invention is to provide ina display rack a supporting frame with a transverse bar movable vertically thereupon and with a scale or scales posithe exact height of the bar.

With these and other objects in view, the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a view of the improved device with the front or outer part of the casing removed exhibiting the moving parts of the device. Fig. 2 .is a view in front Fig. 3 is a view in vertical section taken on lines 3-3 of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. l is a detail front elevation of the transverse bar and means for associating the transverse rod therewith, Fig. 5 is a view of the details shown at Fig. 4 and seen on arrow 5. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of a fra ment of the end of the transverse bar' anc its connecting means.

Like characters of reference designate j corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The display rack forming the subjectto be used in mercantile establishments and drapery establishments is not confined l Specification of Letters Patent.

in its use to such places, and comprises a framework 1() defining an opening 11 proportioned to correspond to a very large sir/.ed door-opening and with a bar 12 extending transversely across. The sides of the inner walls of the frame are provided with slots 13 through which extend arms 14 connected with the opposite ends ol the bar 12 and with the ends inserted within the frame work provided with eyes 15 einbracing screws 16 disposed vertically within the framing.

The screws 15 are provided with gears 17 at their upper ends interengaged with gears 18 carried rigidly upon a shaft 19 extending transversely across the framing and journaled in any approved manner, as in bearing boxes 20. The lower ends of the screws 16 journaled in any approved manner as in bearing boxes 21 and one of the screws is provided adjacent its lower end with a beveled gear intergeared with a beveled gear 23 mounted upon a short shaft 24 extending outwardly through the side of the casing and provided with any approved means for imparting movement thereto, as the crank arm 25, which is removable from the shaft to prevent accidental displacement of the gears.

From the under side of the bar 12 brackets 26 extend downwardly and are provided with studs 27 engaging within slots 28 formed in plates 29, which said plates are maintained in adjustment in contact with and relative to the brackets 26 by means of knurled or thumb screws 30 so that the plates 29 are adjustable vertically relative to the brackets 26.

.lransverscly across the opening 1.1 a rod 31 is disposed secured at its opposite ends to the plates 29 and movable and adjustable therewith. The rod 3] is intended to serve as a rod upon which the draperies are to be 'iitted, such draperies being` shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 provided with rings` in dotted. lines embracing the rod 31 and supporting the draperies. lt will be seen that by ad justing the bar 12 the height of the door or other openings may be readily shown, while the interval between the top of the usual door or opening and the usual and ordinary curtain rod will be arranged accurately by the adjustment of the rod 31 by means of the set screws 30.

The bar 12 preferably carries lingers or Cil pointers 32 and one or both sides of the iraming l() is provided With scales 33 Wherefrom the exact height of the bar l2 is readable. An auxiliary scale to indicate the height oic the rod is also provided in a tape 34 Wound at its loWer end upon spring spool 35 and With its upper end carried by a linger 36 extending from the eye l5. The tape Se is provided With characters indicatingl feet, inches and fractions of inches, when desired, and the frame 1G provided With an opening 37 through `-which the characters are exhibited and readable upon the taper. lt Will thus be seen that by rotatingl the crank arm 25 the bar l2 and its associate rod 3l are moved vertically oi the framing and that the position or" the said bar and rod are readable from the scales provided so that an operator fitting draperies having,I ascertained the height oi the opening and the height of the rod can readily and quickly set his display racl to such height and thereupon lit and hang the draperies to the exact measurements required.

l. ln a display rack, a supporting frame, a bar movable vertically of the frame, a rod disposed below and movable with the bar, and means permitting the variation of the interval between the rod and bar.

2. ln a display rack, a frame, a bar extending` in horizontal relation With the frame, means carried by the frame lor movingl both ends oi the bar isynchronisni, a Vflexible scale having its free end attached to the bar, and means mounted on the framework Winding` its opposite end when the bar is moved toward it.

3. In a display rac/lr, a frame provided with an opening', a bar extending across the opening and movable vertically relative thereto, brackets depending from opposite ends ol the bar, a rod mounted upon the braclets and movable thereon vertically and relative to the bar, and means to move the bar and rod simultaneously.

e. ln a display rack, a trarne provided With an opening, a bar extending transversely across the opening, and movable relative thereto, brackets depending from the bar adjacent its opposite ends, plates adjustably secured to the bracket, a rod carried by the plate, and means to move both ends oi the bar and the rod simultaneously.

ln a display rack, a frame provided with an opening, a transverse bar mounted to move vertically in the opening, brackets carried by the bar and depending,l therefrom, a rod mounted upon the brackets, and means permittingl the adjustment of said rod With reference to the transverse bar.

6. ln a display racl, a frame, a bar movably mounted relative to the frame, means to move the bar vertically, Va flexible scale, a spool, mounted on the fraineivorl and connected with the scale, and means connecting the tree end ol the il' :iible scale 'with the end of and carried by the bar` ln testimony whereof We have ailixed our signatures in presence of Witnesses.
